Champ Bailey

Although we will have to wait a few more years before he can have consideration to be elected, there is no doubt in my mind that Champ Bailey belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame with the career that he has had.

Even though he was drafted by Washington back in 1999, he spent the majority of his career with the Denver Broncos when he was traded back in 2004. During his prime, he was on the top of his game. His most memorable season came in 2005, when he recorded 10 interceptions and the longest non-scoring return in NFL history when he picked off a Tom Brady pass and went 100 yards.

He was also a solid corner and a great tackler as well. During the 2009 season, he did not allow a single touchdown pass thrown his way in 80 passes that came in his general direction. He had quite a career with the Broncos. Sadly enough, he never won a Super Bowl but played his final game as a Bronco in Super Bowl 48, where the Seahawks won their first title.

Champ Bailey completed his career with 52 interceptions and 902 tackles. He even recorded three sacks. He still has three more years left after this season in order to be considered for the Hall of Fame, but he should get in on his first year for sure.
